Během představení Krále Leara v torontském divadle představitel hlavní role přímo na jevišti zkolabuje a přes veškeré snahy na místě umírá. Tragická událost, avšak nijak neobvyklá. Stačí však jediný strohý dovětek na konci kapitoly a je rázem jasné, že na jeho kolegy i celé lidské pokolení se řítí dosud nepředstavitelná katastrofa. Jen o několik hodin později dopadne na lidstvo "jako atomová bomba" mimořádně smrtící virus gruzínské chřipky a zdecimuje 99 procent světové populace. Na rozdíl od jiných dystopií se ve Stanici 11 mladá kanadská autorka Emily St John Mandelová nezaměřuje pouze na samotné přežití postav v nové realitě dvacet let po tzv. Konci. Jak stojí velkým písmem na boku karavanu kočující herecké společnosti "Symfonie na cestách", která projíždí opuštěnou krajinou kanadských jezer a přiváží hrstkám přeživších krásu hudby a Shakespeara: "Přežít nestačí". Stanice 11 není ani tak románem o apokalypse, ale spíše nadmíru strhující knihou o lidské paměti a ztrátě, nostalgii a snech a o povznášející síle umění, které dokáže přehlušit samotu a zachytit prchavost okamžiku. Emily St. John Mandelová se narodila roku 1979 na západním pobřeží Kanady. Na torontské taneční akademii vystudovala moderní tanec a poté žila krátce v Montrealu, než se přestěhovala do New Yorku.

Audiokniha: Čas prý na nikoho nečeká, ale ve 25. století to tak úplně neplatí… Osmnáctiletého britského aristokrata Edwina St. Andrewa poslali rodiče v roce 1912 za Atlantik, aby už nemuseli poslouchat jeho nekonvenční názory. Uprostřed kanadské divočiny však mladík prožije něco, co jím hluboce otřese. Sto let nato se jistý podezřelý cizinec začne zajímat o hudebního skladatele Paula Smithe – respektive o video, jež natočila jeho sestra Vincent na stejném místě, které v minulosti navštívil právě Edwin. A o další dvě staletí později se spisovatelka Olive Llewellynová v měsíční kolonii rozloučí s manželem a dcerkou a vyrazí na pozemské turné se svou nejúspěšnější knihou o pandemii, v níž mimo jiné líčí zvláštní událost podobnou tomu, co se kdysi přihodilo Edwinovi. Tyto lidské osudy propojené prapodivnou anomálií táhnoucí se přes předivo času nakonec sehrají klíčovou roli při hledání důkazu, který dost možná potvrzuje jednu z nejfantastičtějších teorií o povaze reality… Oceňovaný román o umění, lásce a pandemii napříč časem i prostorem. Jeho seriálovou adaptaci připravuje kanál HBO Max. „Mistrovsky vypointovaný, hluboce dojemný vizionářský román se skládá sám do sebe jako zrcadlová síň, aby prozkoumal, co nás spojuje.

Román o umění, lásce a pandemii napříč časem i prostorem. Edwinu St. Andrewovi je osmnáct, když se parníkem přeplaví přes Atlantik, poté co jej kvůli politickým názorům vyloučí ze společnosti britské aristokracie. Okouzlen krásou kanadské přírody vstoupí do lesa a náhle zaslechne tóny houslí odrážející se od stěn rozlehlé stavby - tento zážitek jím hluboce otřese. O dvě století později se známá spisovatelka Olive Llewellynová vydává na propagační turné své knihy. Cestuje po celé zeměkouli, avšak vlastní domov má v druhé měsíční kolonii. V textu jejího bestselleru o pandemii se nachází zvláštní pasáž: houslista hraje v rezonující chodbě dopravního terminálu a kolem něj se zvedá lesní stromoví. Když začne Gaspery-Jacques Roberts pátrat po jisté anomálii v severoamerické divočině, narazí na několik rozvrácených životů - mladík z britské šlechtické rodiny podlehne šílenství, spisovatelka odtržená od rodiny uvízne na Zemi uprostřed pandemie a jeho vlastní kamarádka z dětství se zřejmě také pokusila o něco, čím narušila časové linie vesmíru.

Controversially denied the Russian Booker Prize - the Jury President branded it as a kind of ''computer virus designed to destroy the cultural memory'' - the book became a huge cult success in Russia.The Clay Machine-Gun is a nightmarish fantasy about identity, crime and Russian history. The action cuts deliriously between present-day Moscow and 1919, the era of the Civil War, in which the narrator finds himself serving as a commissar in the division of the legendary commander Vasily Chapaev, and his formidable machine-gunner sidekick, Anna. Hailed as the greatest Russian novel of the post-Soviet era, The Clay Machine-Gun confirmed Victor Pelevin''s status as one of the brightest stars in the Russian literary firmament.

Explore the essence of life, love, nature, and time in exquisite verse with this elegantly designed edition of Emily Dickinson’s finest poems. Born in 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts, to a prominent New England family and educated at Amherst Academy and Mt. Holyoke Female Seminary, Emily Elizabeth Dickinson lived most of her life in seclusion, devoted to writing. She scarcely left home, nor did she have many visitors. Only ten of her poems were published in her lifetime, submitted without her permission by friends. It was only after her death in 1886 that the scope of her work as a poet came to light—over 1,700 poems were discovered in a dresser drawer by her sister, Lavinia. Emily Dickinson’s poems reflect her loneliness, as well as her love of nature, the influence of the Metaphysical poets of seventeenth century England, and her strong Puritan religious beliefs. Yet, it is her use of language, form, and the deceptive simplicity of her verse that categorize her as an important force in nineteenth century American letters and, along with Walt Whitman, a founder of a distinctly American voice in modern poetry.

This comprehensive and authoritative collection of all 1,775 poems by Emily Dickinson is an essential volume for all lovers of American literature. Only eleven of Emily Dickinson's poems were published prior to her death in 1886; the startling originality of her work doomed it to obscurity in her lifetime. Early posthumous published collections — some of them featuring liberally "edited" versions of the poems — did not fully and accurately represent Dickinson's bold experiments in prosody, her tragic vision, and the range of her intellectual and emotional explorations. Not until the 1955 publication of The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson, a three-volume critical edition compiled by Thomas H. Johnson, were readers able for the first time to assess, understand, and appreciate the whole of Dickinson's extraordinary poetic genius. This book, a distillation of the three-volume Complete Poems, brings together the original texts of all 1,775 poems that Emily Dickinson wrote. "With its chronological arrangement of the poems, this volume becomes more than just a collection; it is at the same time a poetic biography of the thoughts and feelings of a woman whose beauty was deep and lasting." —San Francisco Chronicle

Death is a great sacrament. It is the birth of a person from this earthly, temporary life, into eternity. Throughout human history the existence and nature of a world beyond that which is visible to our material eyes has been a subject of intense debate. In this third volume of St Ignatius’s collected works the saint addresses the widespread lack of comprehension of this unseen realm and expounds the necessity of understanding it correctly in accordance with the Truth that is the Orthodox Faith. He examines the mystical boundaries that govern the life of a Christian: the one, between life and death; and the other, between the visible, physical realm and the invisible to most—but no less real—spiritual realm. He draws deeply on the patristic teachings of Christian saints of the first millennium, in particular St Basil the Great, St Isaac the Syrian, St John of Damascus, and St John of the Ladder. He weaves in quotations from the Psalms and other Scriptural texts as well as liturgical hymns. He exhorts his readers to prepare themselves to cross the threshold into their final heavenly home: to cross from earthly into eternal life. Included here is St Ignatius’s “Homily on Death,” ...

The extraordinary story of the UK’s most gruelling and spectacularly beautiful islands. Tom Steel’s acclaimed portrait of the St Kildan’s lives is now updated in this reissued edition.Situated at the westernmost point of the United Kingdom, the spectacularly beautiful but utterly bleak island of St Kilda is familiar to virtually nobody. A lonely archipelago off the coast of Scotland, it is hard to believe that for over two thousand years, men and women lived here, cut off from the rest of the world.With a population never exceeding two hundred in its history, the St Kildans were fiercely self-sufficient. An intensely religious people, they climbed cliffs from childhood and caught birds for food. Their sense of community was unparalleled and isolation enveloped their day-to-day existence.With the onset of the First World War, things changed. For the very first time in St Kilda’s history, daily communication was established between the islanders and the mainland. Slowly but surely, this marked the beginning of the end of St Kilda and in August 1930, the island’s remaining 36 inhabitants were evacuated.Newly updated to include the historic appointment of St Kilda as the United Kingdom’s only UNESCO Dual Heritage site, the ongoing search for information about ...
